A Life360 user reports that the app sends frequent, non-urgent weekly driving summary alerts that the user finds meaningless, preferring that notifications be reserved for serious incidents like crashes.

🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. Add a granular notification settings menu allowing users to toggle off weekly summary reports while keeping crash detection alerts active.
  2. Implement a 'Do Not Disturb' mode for specific notification categories within the app settings.
  3. Redesign the notification system to group non-urgent driving statistics into a single monthly digest email instead of weekly push notifications.

“I don’t like getting meaningless alerts every week to tell me who’s driving the best and who was on the phone the most, and who had soft braking”
